Download Missing Windows .dll files immediately - Dlldump

This is most common error you often see that a single or multiple (.dll) files are missing or corrupt when you have installed the application software or any other software that you use.The error could also be your system supporting dll files corrupt.

DLL - stands for dynamic link library which plays a major part in windows operating system.I had installed one software ,which showed .dll was missing . So i did a small research and found a cool site which holds large collection of dll files , and that s DllDump.com

DllDump.com - search for the dll file and download it  immediately , the reason why am using dlldump is that it allows immediate download option for user rather than misleading users with download here ,download there which the other sites normally do.Link to the site is ( here )

Example Error : The program can’t start because MSVCR71.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this program
Solution : After download , whats next ? where do i place the downloaded dll files ?

- Look for folder named system32, its located at /WINDOWS/ folder or use a folder search option in windows .

- Place the file in system32 directory and then re-start your application , if not re-boot /re-start your computer.Hope this works.

Tip :
  • For 32 bit Windows : use -  C://WINDOWS/system32
  • For 64 bit Windows : use - C://WINDOWS/SysWOW64
If not , try registering the ( .dll ) file present in the system32 folder after the download ,

Registering Dll file :
Type the following on the Windows Command Prompt
<>   
  regsvr32.exe   Your_Dll_file.dll 

After that restart / reboot the application or system.

Just for your information on Unregistering the dll :
<> 
  regsvr32.exe  /u  Your_Dll_file.dll
